Gray, John Thompson. Kentucky chronicle. $1.50. Neale.
“Among the Virginia emigrants to The Falls, was Reginald Thornton, a stately, kindly gentleman of the old school.” He established himself at Lastlands, a few miles from The Falls, and it is the life of his children, his grandchildren, their friends and enemies that goes to make up this chronicle which is “more than a romance, it is a wisdom book.”
Gray, Maxwell, pseud. (Mary Gleed Tuttiett.) Great refusal. †$1.50. Appleton.
“The ‘great refusal’ is made by the hero, who renounces wealth and position to become a common workingman, and eventually embarks in a socialistic venture having for its object the establishment of a Utopian commonwealth in Africa. These are not his only sacrifices, for love also is cast aside, and it is not until the end of much suffering that his early passion is replaced by one fixed upon far surer foundations. The characterization is excellent, alike of the two women, the devoted hero, and his masterful father, whose money seems to the son too tainted for legitimate enjoyment.”—Dial.
